Super nice staff. Kids & family noises are great to hesr but there is too little soundproofng from windows & hallway door. No coffee maker in room (that's a downer!) But overall a great, affordable, nearby option to the very expensive lodge on the North Rim itself.

Very nice staff assistance during check-in. I was in the hotel, not the cabins, and it was very safe but not well soundproofed against outside or hallway noise. Most important, the wifi was weak: I had many photos to upload and they barely crawled along. I have to wait until my next hotel to work on my zillion Grand Canyon photos!

It was dark around our room and my 70 yr old husband tripped on the uneven sidewalk hitting his head on the concrete. This place is unsafe. Also, there is no thermostat in the room and no ceiling fan. No air movement. You could hear doors shutting in neighboring rooms as well as their voices. For $233, I had hoped for a better nights sleep.

A blast from the past! This is an older village type setting, but very clean. The staff was very friendly and the prices were reasonable... there is a playground our grand children loved and felt very safe...

This was a unique and convenient place to stay after watching the sunset at the North Rim. They were accommodating for our later arrival (just in the nick of time - finding cell phone service to give them a heads up is not easy in these remote areas!). They were very friendly in the main store when we arrived just before closing. Room was clean and adequate for what we needed for a one-night stay. They gave us a heads-up about the baked good that are brought fresh to the store each morning - and I have to say, I wish I could go back and get another one of those cherry turnovers. They were delicious!

We stayed at Jacob Lake Inn a couple of days before the North Rim was open for the season. I assume this was part of the reason that things were so quiet around the Inn. I think there was only 1 or 2 other rooms (according to the parking lot) booked for the night we were there. So, the room was very quiet, the restaurant was not busy, all in a good way. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the JLI to anybody that is looking for a quiet convenient place to stay.
